Video: New Hero Arts Ombre Inks + GIVEAWAY

Oh these ombre ink pads are incredibly delightful! I have been waiting to get my hands on them for so long. Just as the name suggests, these ink pads stamp color from light to dark and there are five ink pads in total so far. The formulation of the ink pads are the same as the Hero Arts Shadow Inks. (For more info on these inks, watch THIS.) And just check out the lovely blend of colors…

To create the cards, I stamped sentiments from the Hero Arts Hello, Thanks, and Happy Stamp & Cut sets using these new ombre inks. (Helpful tip: The results are best when you go back and forth slightly as you ink to get the colors to blend them a bit more.) I used my MISTI tool to help with positioning, but you can use an acrylic block if you don’t have this tool.

You could definitely achieve the same look by multi-inking with three ink pads. However, these are lovely!

Hi Jennifer!! I saw that I won the ombre inks but have not received an email from you. 🙁 I hope it;s not too late to contact you now! I was searching some of our local stores for the inks and did not find them. So glad to have won!!!! 🙂

I like dye inks as that is what i use the most, but hoping to delve more into pigments since you have given me great new technique ideas. Tim Holts distress inks are my obsession at his time though!! Love the look of the new ombre inks to add to my collection! Thanks again!

I like to color my scrap paper with alcohol makers, die cut them and then cover them with several layers of clear embossing powder, dipping the sentiment back in the embossing powder while it’s still sticky. Loved your latest video on that by the way. These ombre inks sure quill make it easier.
